transmission jumps out of 5th, 96 RM250

By Liquid10, Posted May 30, 2011

I've got a transmission issuw with my 96 RM250. In 5th gear it will frequently let go into false neutral, or go back to 4th. This usually only happens when I give it a lot of gas. The transmission doesn't do this in any other gear. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? Unfortunately it looks a a transmission rebuild may be in the near future.

Thanks in advance

I think it could be the shift cam stopper, I would open it up and see what is going on.

I believe I can get to that through the side case, I'll check that out first thing.

Hi.

I have the same problem with the same moto. Did you find what was the problem? Was the shift shaft stopper?

Thanks for your help.

if the shift star and stopper arm look fine then its likely your gear cogs are worn
